The ECU experience was wonderful. Allowing me to visit the ECU Joondalup campus, I was impressed by its industry-leading equipment, the range of Engineering specialities, and the facilities each speciality has. It was an amazing day, educating me about the differences between each Engineering speciality I may choose to pursue. Seeing the different job opportunities, the range of university projects, and the campus lifestyle each type of Engineering offers was very interesting. From robotics and coding to hands-on machinery and the numerous CNC machines, ECU has a lot to offer. The patience shown by the Year 3 and 4 Engineering teaching staff as we completed the workshops was much appreciated. The tour that we went on to conclude the experience showed us and taught us about the evolution of 3D printing and machinery, from its introduction into the market to the present day, highlighting its versatility and the variety of materials it can utilise. We got to see plastic models from 3D printers slowly being optimised before being transformed into metallic objects and used in a range of projects. They provided us with a great deal of insight and showcased numerous projects they've completed with students, as well as the extensive machinery they have access to. The campus was amazing, and an extremely friendly environment made for a great day. It most definitely left me with more insight into what career in Engineering I want to specialise in.
